suddenly the night
suddenly the night
was lit up like daylight
a great crack across the sky sounded
echoed and rebounded
sonic boom a blinding flash
rumbling and an enormous crash
the ground shook and structures fell
a burning heat released from hell
we were of one will and one mind
we chose to be deaf dumb and blind
from God we turned to our sin
and thought without Him to win
a war that was to chastise
our foolish ways we thought wise
now here lies our humanistic humanity
that thought to believe in God to be
nothing more than insanity

the moon
the moon most shinny brightly lighting the darkly nighting
shimmering silvery on wavery watering of salty sea
shipping ship full of shipmate sailors singing sea shanties
sailing with sails so full and sail fully across the starry sea
waves washing starry starfish onto sandy sands of the shore so surely
mermaid with swishy fishy tail singing a song of sorrow so sorrowfully
foggy fog over boggy bog so doggedly
trickery troll trampling along leggedly in forest be
fluttering fairy full of laughing flying so skywardly
lovely lady in waiting waiting for a noble knightly laddy love to see
dumpy dwarf with lumpy sack on humpy back triumphantly
dancing prancing down dell so delightfully
hobbling hob goblin is trodding and wobbling
down high hilly path to low lilly valley to cave unseenery
the tick tocking of the clock in the tall leafery full of a tree
both shorter and longer hands pointed so precisely
over his nunberly clockish face at twelvery
tis middle night in fair fairyland so fair to see and so rare to see
for merely mere mortals are asleep and sleeping be
and cannot see fair fairyland except in dreams most dreamily

you
you
a lovely
vision
to view
and vanish
to love
only so much
and never
to touch
like life
to live
and never
to love
hurting
so much
to be
in heaven
above
like death
a door
to depart
and return
never more

to you
to you i'm not
nor ever was
nor will i ever be
i'm nothing
you never saw
nor will ever see
i'm nothing
you never heard
nor will ever hear
for me
you have no word
for i have no ear
to you i'm nothing
for i was never here

the galactic gypsies
the galactic gypsies
prancing and dancing
from star to star
from star to star
one will never know
where they go
nor who they are
their bangles and spangles
shimmering glimmering
shimmering glimmering
shinning and sparkling
seen from afar
seen from afar
across the night skies
razzling dazzling our eyes
spinning curving
swirling twirling
swirling twirling
swaying swerving
stirring star dust
up in space
up in space
caught up in gypsy lace
then promenading
and fading
into the dark
leaving just a spark

childhood memories
childhood memories
the odor of death
that filled the hallway
when they discovered
the decomposing
dead man next door
the blood on the
street from the
school girl struck by
a car in the crosswalk
her shrill sobs as
she sat on the
curb bleeding
waiting for an
ambulance to come
the man with the
bloody head and face
who was hit in the
head with a bottle
by the husband
of the housewife he
was trying to help
save from an
abusive battering
the fireman covering
a frightened naked girl
in a blanket as the
house she had been
rescued from filled with
flames that flared furiously
as the roof fell in
the blood on the
side walk from a
shop owner who was
shot in his store then
managed to stagger
outside to die
a bunch of big bullies
surrounding me and
several fists hitting
me in the stomach
and face as i fell
to the ground trying to
cover my head in my hands
and being kicked hard
in the head repeatedly
blood issuing from my ear

this earth
this earth encrusted with evil
my flesh formed of filth
my heart a home of hell
my loathsome life full of lust
the only hope i have is in heaven
may God have mercy on this ungodly man
